Yesterday I posted a video about giant hail that smashed up a car’s windshield and tore through a roof. The hail reported in this video is “softball-sized” and could potentially be more damaging than the previous falling ice.

Only this time it’s fake.

Usually, when you see idiots on the news, they are the people getting interviewed. In this case, however, the newscasters themselves are the dumb ones.

As the picture of the “softball-sized” hail pops on the screen we can clearly see that it’s merely a chunk of ice from a freezer. The three weathermen, on the other hand are baffled “Look at this, holy cow!” one exclaims.

Only after about a minute does the embarrassed newscaster realize it is a prank. “Nice try, but uh, no cigar,” he says.
